Every new Android version adds features that have been on iOS forever. Both OSes have different priorities.
Android will often add new features but they are poorly integrated or thought out. iOS tends to add features with a much higher level of refinement the first time around.
Yeah, the tinted icons are very refined as can be seen in this post: https://androiddev.social/@MishaalRahman/112594519877882594
It's in beta 1. Some apps look kinda bad if you're trying to pick a horrid color. Hopefully they do something to improve contrast before release.
Yeah let me know when Apple figure out notifications. They're light years away from what you can do on Android to customize them.
Or UI navigation. Apple's insistence on not having an OS "back" feature has led to each app implementing their own. Sometimes it's a button, good luck finding it and figuring out how it looks, sometimes it's a gesture or something else.
Ok, use Android then. Millions of people don’t care about those things because they have different priorities for their phone which Apple accounts for when they decide which features to roll out.
Do they? Bad UI and bad notifications is something that everybody constantly complains about with Apple. But do they act on it or do they rest secure knowing they've got a captive audience and can simply be tone-deaf and forge on?
I can come up with lots of other bad UI examples btw those aren't singular. The security code input pad is atrocious. The 3D touch fiasco etc.
Say what you will about Apple, but they are very good at their Walled garden business model. If you want a stable device and don't care about privacy, customizability, or the ability to install non-Apple-approved apps, it's the best Mobile OS.
I really wish I could find iPhones sufficient. It sounds nice to just don't care and let the phone do what it will.
Unfortunately I'd be missing out on:
- Ability to install apps from 3rd parties (or my own).
- Ability to install older versions of apps and to backup and restore apps myself.
- Ability to use third party or self-hosted services.
- Features like conversation recording (on my own terms).
- Payments without paying the Apple tax or Google tax. etc.
No iPhone user actually owns their device. Apple is so controlling that it dictates what the user experience should be. If Apple wants to turn every iPhone on the planet into a brick through an update, it simply has the technical power to do so.
They don't even need to push an update, they just need to send a kill command from their activation servers.
yes but for general people is apple that innovated first, the others are bad imitations
of course. We, the 1% of technical people on lemmy, we know it. General people only know that apple innovates first, the rest are bad copycats. In general, everything becomes incredibly popular only after apple implements it.
Emoji, nfc payments, third party keyboard, copy and paste, widgets, internet browsers that aren't a skin of the system browser, wireless charging, 4k video recording it's all stuff that come to android years or decaded before apple, yet the average people is always thinking that apple is first
